North American Arms Sentinel

Emerging of two of the company’s most popular mini revolver designs, the Sentinel from North American Arms combines the aesthetic and .22 WMR chambering of the Pug with the Sidewinder’s frame-mounted swing-out cylinder (to the right side, mind you) and far simpler reloading process.

Measuring just 4.9" long with a 1.43" barrel, the five-shot Sentinel is constructed of durable 17-4 stainless steel and comes with a set of XS Sights consisting of a dot front and a V-notch rear to help users reliably put shots on target.

And, while .22 Mag. NAA revolvers can be a handful to shoot, textured rubber stock panels help keep the tiny pocket gun anchored in the hand during recoil.

Suggested retail pricing for the NAA Sential is $399 ($525 with .22 Long Rifle conversion cylinder).
